Bullying – A Deadly Epidemic That Needs To End<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Do you know? Bullying is becoming a deadly epidemic in America. Yet, quite frankly, we are nowhere near addressing this issue. Will we ever see an end to bullying? For now, I simply cannot see how unless we as a nation address this with absolute honesty and says: ‘Enough is enough!’<\/p>\n

Today, in my attempt to discuss the problems behind bullying, I hope to show you how serious and deadly this epidemic actually is and why we need to do something to stop it.<\/p>\n

Bullying Happens Everywhere Not Just In Schools<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bullying does not happen just in schools. In fact, we see it daily and it is happening everywhere and at every level. We see it in work places, over the media and social networks, at home and sadly, our children pick it up and use it for various reasons.<\/p>\n

Many of our children become victims to bullying and sadly, more are choosing suicide to get out of it. The bullying suicide statistics <\/span><\/strong>is ever climbing at an alarming rate. So have you wonder why so many of our children are either bullied\u00a0or are bullies themselves?<\/p>\n

Reasons Why People Choose Bullying<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Bullying is not an issue just for our children alone, it is also for the adults. Why do people choose to bully?<\/p>\n

People choose to bully because they are<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. stressed out and they simply slap their frustration on another person.<\/li>\n
  2. insecure and needs to present themselves bigger than they actually are.<\/li>\n
  3. cowards who pick on those weaker than them.<\/li>\n
  4. in need for affirmation because they lack it.<\/li>\n
  5. afraid of those who are different and better than them.<\/li>\n
  6. lacking in love from those they seek love and attention.<\/li>\n
  7. forceful and do not know how to relate and communicate appropriately.<\/li>\n
  8. hurting and manipulate to get what they want.<\/li>\n
  9. brought up believing that bullying is okay.<\/li>\n
  10. survivors – thinking that only the strongest survive mentality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bullying Is A Tell-Tale Sign\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Bullying is a tell-tale sign<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to something bigger. According the reasons above, I notice that one thing calls out to me. People hide their hurts and are afraid being\u00a0truthful about their pain and needs.<\/p>\n

    Why as a society and nation that pursues freedom for its citizens, its people are not free being\u00a0truthful as they are? Can this inability for\u00a0truthfulness, a huge problem we have not addressed? A mountain we have no clue where and how to begin looking.<\/p>\n

    \"Bullying\"<\/p>\n

    Can we be truthful when we address:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Tolerance\u00a0<\/strong>– When we call on others for\u00a0tolerance, we need to look at ourselves and honestly ask and demand\u00a0that we are able to do likewise. If we are unable to meet that, then we should not put that expectation on anyone.<\/p>\n

    If we are intolerance of others opinions and views, be truthful about it. As we address others’ inability to tolerate, we need to look inwardly and address it within ourselves why we are intolerant of others at the same time.<\/p>\n

    Respect<\/strong> – We can agree to disagree on anything. We do not need to resort to name calling to those who disagree with us. When we communicate, we make sure we get our thoughts across clearly and to the point.<\/p>\n

    Believe that the receiving end of our communication has something good to offer to us. \u00a0Be respectful and return with kindness. Be an intensive listener. Simply, do unto others what you would want others to do unto you.<\/p>\n

    Love<\/strong> – It is not easy to love strangers, am I right? What do we know about them? So, why do we get so upset and frustrated communicating with strangers over the social media? Do we talk to our friends and neighbors in the same way?<\/p>\n

    The truth: Are we bullying strangers because we do not have to face them like we communicate with colleagues\u00a0\u00a0and neighbors? Simply because there is no consequences to answer to? On the contrary, if we do everything out of love, we can love even strangers whom we do not know.<\/p>\n

    The Reason Behind This Deadly Epidemic\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>–\u00a0Bullying<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The reason this epidemic is so deadly is because our youths are in crisis. The constant and relentless bullying is wearing our young people out, forcing them to choose suicide as the only option left to ease from their suffering and pain. Often, when a suicide attempt is successful, a life gone\u00a0and ended.<\/p>\n

    The hardcore truth is the victims of bullying\u00a0who attempt suicides are not only our youths but our children in their tween. If we as a society do not address this epidemic, we are going to lose our children to suicides. When will we wake up and do something before it is too late.<\/p>\n

    In Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    It is not enough talking about what bullying does. We need to as a nation take a deeper look at ourselves, how we treat others, what we show by examples to our children, how we value life, and where we stand on bullying and ultimately how serious are we to say: ‘Enough is enough!’ We have a problem. It is time to end it once and for all.<\/p>\n
